5 Month Baby And Life Update

So it has been 5 months since my last post, Since then i have had a new baby boy Jaiden, He is amazingly beautiful he's giggling and smiling and rolling over and starting to get up on all fours to the crawling position which is exciting for his big brother.

JB (nickname) has now started solid food he has farix (baby rice cereal ) for breakfast, fruit for lunch and vegatables for dinner and he is absolutly loving every mouth full.

he sleeps from 9pm till 4am overnight not ideal but it works.

As for the how he came into this world it was a very scary and exciting day all in one.

i woke up in the morning and started to have very light contraction which where just not going away, we called hospital they told be to come in and they would check it out so we packed the car and made our way in and they told me i was not even dilated at all they said i could stay or go home so off we went back home and had some lunch.

The next couple of hours they where starting to become a lot stronger but not enough to be in pain so we called again and they said to come in, we went it they said i was not dilated at all, and as soon as the nurse finished checking how dilated i was (if you have ever had that done.... its not nice) i really needed to use the bathroom, as soon as i sat on the toiled all this blood came rushing out i screaming lucky my husband was there helping me he got the nurse and she said its ok its just so spotting you'll be ok, i stood up for her and lets just say she yelled pressed some button the next i know i was in a room pushing out a baby all within a matter of 20 minutes of parking the car walking in getting checked for dilation and having a baby in my arms. IT WAS CRAZY!!!!

my placenta had erupted and the baby had gone into destress and his heart rate had dropped crazy amounts so if i wasn't in the hospital when that had happened i would have not had a baby today, so we are god dam very lucky.

As for my body it is still feeling it everyday, but hey it will get better.

JB was born a healthy 3.5 kg and how weights a huge 8.5kg

31 Weeks Pregnancy Update

31 weeks, less then 9 weeks to go, excited but also nervous because my main little man is still sick and i'm still trying to get on top of his sickness and rashes before or new little guy arrives, so then it all becomes a nice smooth transition as well as if im in hospital for the week. But I know it will all come together.

 

This week I have been feeling well other than getting uncomfortable when bending over or standing for to long, just little things like that. I've noticed my feet are alittle swollen but not too much to worry about just yet, My tummy has also become really hairy haha, it defently must be a hormonal thing because I remember getting it with my first pregnancy, it defently doesn't look very nice.

 

my hair and skin has become very oily this week, I cannot keep makeup on my skin because the oil just seeps through which is total gross I know but I have to carry a powder around with my and touch it up every half hour if I need to wear makeup, but lucky im a stay at home mummy so I can get away with not wearing makeup all week.

 

I've had crazy intergestion and heart burn the last two days which totally sucks, its starting to come good now though.

25 Weeks Pregnancy Update

Wow 15 weeks to go, not long now.

I had a obstetrician appointment on Tuesday as well as a ultra sound on Thursday,

Obstetrician appointment went well our little boys hard beat is perfect and my blood pressure is perfect so he was happy with everything and I really had nothing to tell or ask him so it was a pretty quick appointment.

 

 

I had a 25 week scan, they want to really monitor this baby this time where first pregnancy I only had 12 week scan and 20 week scan and that was it now this pregnancy I have had 12 weeks, 20 weeks, 25 weeks and I have I a 30 week scan also they keep telling me that there is noting wrong they just like to be extra carful and as the baby grows it could come up with something so they just like to measure everything just to be safe then sorry.

 

TMI but ive had a really swollen vagina this week (I did say tmi)

its been so uncomfortable and annoying but I read and heard that its very common in pregnancy, so I wasn't to concerned.

 

I'm not fitting into any of my pants anymore I think im going to have to buy a pair of maternity jeans.

 

I also have this feeling that this little boy is going to come early, not sure why but I have had this feeling all along around the 35/38 week mark so I have this feeling that I should be getting everything ready asap, like packing my baby bag and hospital bag but is it to soon? I think I might wait till I hit 30 weeks what do you think?

This week hasn't been fun at all, I'm writing this while sitting in bed eating chicken soup because I have a throat and ear infection. Yay!! Not. It totally sucks my pore husband has been given two days off work because I cannot move my head and there is no way I'm looking after a 2 year old haha. But mostly because I have been put on antibiotics and because I'm pregnant and also have epilepsy the doctor is concerned that being pregnant I loose most of my epileptic medication from the pregnancy and then if I mix antibiotics into it, I could end up having seizures. So I need to be very careful as well as watching our little man can become dangerous if I become ill. 

But ill be good, ill feel better soon.

So other than feeling sick I have been feeling pretty well the baby's heart beat is at 140 and my uterus is at the right spot for 24 weeks so that's all good.

Baby has been very active. I have been so hungry all the time and I'm also so thirsty all the time which I find strange for some reason.

My hair I have noticed is always so oily even if I pile dry shampoo into it, it still feels and looks oily.

I think I'm going to have to start putting baby powder in before bed every night, don't worry I am still washing my hair everyday sometimes twice so its not dirty it must be just a hormone thing.

It's Australia Day long weekend this weekend so we might go to the beach depending on how I'm feeling. 

I think that's really all I have to update.

Maternity Clothes Haul - ASOS / Target

Maternity Clothes Haul, mostly from ASOS a couple from Target and Kmart,

I never bought maternity clothes with my first pregnancy, well I did have one breastfeeding dress and some belly slips but that was all, so this time I thought I would spoil myself and ASOS was having a 80% off sale so hey I couldn't leave them there for that.

 

So first is the Blue T-shirt with a cross over back I love how this shirt fits and as im only 22 weeks I still have heaps of room to grow and I can still wear it now with out it looking like a pregnancy top.

Next is this gorgeous Maternity dress that im so in love with I cant wait to be able to wear it.

Mint green shirt I got I thought I might look ok with jeans and a scarf as im due in the winter months.

White basic long sleeve maternity top I got for the winter months its really big right now but when im like 35/40 weeks and need big clothes this will be perfect.
